Hi All. So since my last post I've been a little concerned about my "high-normal" reading from Lloyd's pharmacy a couple of months ago and bought myself a test kit. My first reading with the test kit was 6.0 but I had again had a coffee with one sugar in 2 hours previous to the test. I had a very carb heavy lunch (on purpose) and 2 hours after I was 5.7. The next morning I took my bloods almost immediately on waking and I was 5.5 so I decided to book an appointment with my doctor. Tbh I feel I may have been brushed off she checked my urine and that was clear but she did a finger prick which was 6.0 again I had had a coffee with one sugar in approx 2 hours before the test. She didn't even mention pre-diabetes and said I was fine. Anyone have any thoughts or advice. I don't particularly have any symptoms of diabetes but I was suffering with a dry mouth (not thirst) which prompted me to get tested. Thanks Emma x
